“It’s a surprise.”

“But what about my job?”

He picks me up and walks us into the bedroom. “You’ll only miss two days, but I promise, I’ll make it worth it.”

“You’re really not going to tell me?”

“Nope. Now put this on.” He holds out an eye mask. “Turn around.”

“This is crazy, you know that?” I slowly turn so he can put the mask over my eyes, after which he smacks my ass.

“Stop being difficult, Miss Flowers, or I’ll work you over in the back of this car.”

The flight to wherever we are was smooth, granted Weston spent most of the time keeping me completely preoccupied with having as many orgasms as possible.

“Hmm, I think I like you blindfolded like this. Might have to use this later.” He runs his thumb over my bottom lip, making it tickle. I dart my tongue out to lick it gently. “Tease,” he whispers, leaning in to kiss me, then biting my bottom lip. “Now be a good girl and follow me.”

I hold his hand as he leads me down the airplane stairs and into the back of our waiting car.

“Our luggage is being taken to our hotel, but we have a little pit stop first.”

Once the car finally slows and the door opens, Weston takes my hand and leads me a few feet away.

“Okay, face this way,” he says, spinning me around. I feel his hands leave my arms. “Now,” he says quietly, “take off the mask.”

I reach up, slowly lifting the mask. I blink several times, my eyes adjusting to the light when I look up and see the Eiffel Tower.

I gasp, smiling as I spin around to look at him, but he’s down on one knee, a stunning diamond solitaire ring staring back at me in a black velvet box. My hands shoot up to cover my mouth as I realize what’s happening.

“Daphne, I never thought the day I met you right here I’d be asking you in the same spot to be my wife. You have completely turned my life upside down so thank you for spilling your coffee on me and making me fall in love with you. Will you marry me?”

“Yes!” I nod my head as I close the distance between us and throw my arms around his neck.

He slides the ring on my finger and we both stare at it for a moment, the sun dancing across the surface making it sparkle.

“This was my mother’s. When I told her that I was going to marry you, she insisted you have it.”

“That’s why she said that to me.”

“Said what?”

“She just told me how happy she was that you were happy and that you loved me. She got kind of teary-eyed and I just wondered where it came from. Oh,” I say, wiping a stray tear out of my own eye, “and then Daisy said bye, Mom to me when she left my classroom.” I shake my head, trying to hold back the rest of the tears that start to fall.

“Are those good tears, baby?”

“Yes, very good tears. I just can’t believe this is how this all turned out. It’s… just like a fairy tale.”

“Like a romance novel?” He gives me a coy smile and it makes me laugh.

“Have you been reading some of my books?” I tease as he wraps his arms around me and we both stare up at the tower.

“You know,” he says, kissing the top of my head, “the day I met you here, I was completely taken by your beauty. You had this split second where the sun was behind you and the wind was causing your hair to fly around you and you just took my breath away.”

“Is that—is that why you took that first photo?”

“First photo?”
